“We’re confident Nevada citizens are going to choose schools over stadiums next November,” says a rep for the teachers union.
Disgruntled Oakland Athletic fans take out their frustration by throwing rotten tomatoes at pictures of team owner John Fisher, team president Dave Kaval and MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, Friday, May 12, 2023, in Oakland, Calif. A judge’s decision on Monday in Nevada could give A’s fans new hope of the team remaining in Oakland.
The teachers union is opposed by a coalition of lobbyists and construction union leaders assembled by A’s ownership. They accuse the teachers’ union of submitting an “inaccurate, misleading and argumentative” petition that improperly targets only portions of the Nevada legislation, instead of all of it.
The complaint against the teachers union was filed by Danny Thompson and Thomas Morley, who have strong, if indirect, ties to the A’s organization. Morley was for 27 years the president of Laborers Local 872, a union that has come out in strong support of the A’s ballpark development, and which he now represents as a lobbyist. He previously helped organize the Oakland Raiders’ move to Las Vegas, according to a webpage for his consulting firm.
“There’s not a scenario in which the A’s come out of this going, ‘Ha, we beat the teachers, take that!'” Marks said. “That’s probably what they’d like to hear. But we think the court will say, ‘you’re clear, go out and gather signatures.’” “The teams and team owners will always prefer that this doesn’t go to the voters,” said Nola Agha, a University of San Francisco sports economist who wrote critically about the A’s previous development plan at Oakland’s Howard Terminal.
“ would have to figure out where that other money is coming from,” Marks said. “I don’t think he has that ability to get that money because he said specifically they need $380 million.”
